Golden Earring – Switch (Vinyl, LP, Album, 1975, MCA Records/Track Record MCA-2139, Gloversville Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
Switch is Golden Earring’s 1975 follow-up to Moontan, continuing the Dutch band’s 1970s hard-rock period after the international breakthrough of “Radar Love.” The album features the extended “Kill Me (Ce Soir)” alongside “The Switch,” “Love Is A Rodeo,” and “The Lonesome D.J.” It captures the band during the mid-1970s period when Golden Earring had established a substantial audience beyond the Netherlands.
